The preferred way for church leadership is to just do it with children before they are of fertile age.

I would never have posted this, but with the new /. layout coming soon, I might as well burn my karma before it gets worthless anyway.

Actually, the research is pretty clear on this: you can tell the difference way beyond the 'retina' definition of hardware makers, at least for some patterns.

For instance, this article combines some others pointing towards that.

Another thing of course is if that really matters, as current high resolution displays look great already, especially when using anti-aliasing techniques.

He runs the secret canabis lab.

Wow you're right, I misread that. Sorry!

Assuming you are American: you have none of those. (and neither does my own country)

This only works because of the terrible practice of checking a user agent string to decide which version to display.

I don't get peoples purism about web development. Often browsers nominally support something but are in fact broken (ok, this used to be true more before than it is now). So why not just check if it's internet explorer looking at this site so I can fall back to an image instead of their broken gradient rendering or such. I really see nothing wrong with this. Media queries have their place, but they aren't the only tool out there, just let me decide which tools I'd like to use please. (I don't use browser detection anymore because it is seen as bad practice by people who will complain about it, but I honestly don't see why not. There are three viable browser engines left, and they all have their quirks, why not just face facts and build on that).

I would say there are much bigger issues out there, like developers outright ignoring memory usage of their website.

If you don't want the business in Europe don't take it. Nobody forces you to sell your stuff in Germany.

What's so dangerous about having executables and libraries in /var? It seems pretty common practice? (I have no particular like for qmail, but I'm curious why this part is an issue)

Nonsense, the Tulip contracts were not ratified in courts, effectively anulling them: in real documents there is not much real evidence for 'massive amounts of money lost.' Obviously I was refering to the height of the bubonic plague in Haarlem at the time that directly coincided with the crash, this wasn't the middle ages. This is well documented, I take it you can't read dutch source documents and are just reading random english blogs for your info or such?

I wonder if people who make the tulip comparison actually get what happened there. Tulips take years to grow, and can be multiplied. Suddenly a new type of tulip came into existence because of a viral interaction. A handful of rich traders (and some others trying to get in on the action) tried to corner that market, so the initial bulbs were extremely valuable. They took very large future options on them. Then at the height of the bubonic plague, the society temporarily collapsed and tulip prices went along with them. As it was mostly option contracts, they were largely not executed, so it didn't end up being a major issue. There are some lessons to learn there, but even if Bitcoin collapses, it will be completely different.

Great! Lets do a 100 dollar bet: if the price at January 1st is lower than now I pay you $100, otherwise you pay me $100. You're in?

I once accidentally worked for the US Postal Service for a year and a half

Accidentally? How did that work? Did you think it was a sysadmin job when they were talking about mail delivery system?

I know a bunch of teachers and school administrators. None of them are described by those points, so I wonder what you are going on about?

Also 'failing in life' are usually the people with some dates and crappy grades.

Why would they drop Germany?
